يوحنا سكيليتزس John Skylitzes، ويشيع كتابته باللاتينية Ioannes[أ] Scylitzes (Greek: Ἰωάννης Σκυλίτζης, romanized: Iōánnēs Skylítzēs,[ب] : [i.oˈa.nis sc̠iˈlit.t͡sis]؛ لاتينية: Ioannes Scyllitzes,[ت] اللاتينية: [jɔˈan.ne̝s sk̟ilˈlit̪.d͡ze̝s]; مطلع ع1040 – بعد 1101[1])، كان مؤرخاً بيزنطياً في أواخر القرن الحادي عشر.

حياته

ما نعرفه عن حياته هو قليل جداً. The title of his work records him as a kouropalatēs and a former droungarios of the Vigla, whereby he is usually identified with a certain John Thrakesios.[2]

His major work is the Synopsis of Histories (Greek: Σύνοψις Ἱστοριῶν [ˈsy̜.nop.sis is.to.riˈon]), which covers the reigns of the Byzantine emperors from the death of Nikephoros I في 811 حتى الإطاحة بميخائيل السادس في 1057؛ it continues the chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor. There is a continuation of this work, known as Scylitzes Continuatus, covering 1057 to 1079; some historians hypothesize that it was also written by Skylitzes.[2]

سكيليتزس مدريد

The most famous manuscript of the Synopsis was produced in Sicily in the 12th century known as the Madrid Skylitzes (لاتينية: Skyllitzes Matritensis, [sk̟ilˈlit̪.d͡ze̝s ma.t̪riˈt̪ɛn.sis]), and is now at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. It features 574 miniatures, while some 100 have been lost, and is the only surviving Byzantine illuminated chronicle in Greek, providing an invaluable primary source for the visualization of contemporary Byzantium.[2]
